First of all I really think we need more of this with or without a prize, it was helpful. Of course it's nice to have an extra increment bonus =)
I was almost sure that we were going to be asked "who wrote the article "why reality tv is good for us" because spelling counted and Poniewozik is probably the hardest name we saw in eng101, but that never happened :(
I also realized you had to show everything you know about the asked thing. When explaining what foreshadowing meant, I was so sure we were talking about literature that I couldn't think we had to indicate it as well. It was an "informative foreshadowing" for me maybe for the final essay - I'll try to explain everything related I know bit by bit =)
In short it was an "eglenelim & ogrenelim" kind of stuff that quiz, I enjoyed it. Süleyman Hurma rocks!
Congratulations to my teammates (yes, including Emir) and to the Çarşı team =)
PS: There's a group in Flickr called Pub Quiz! This "pub quiz" activity has to be really popular abroad!
Asking you about Poniewozik would have been downright mean...damn, I wish I'd thought of it! :D
ReplyDeletebtw, what happened to Hasan? YOO-hooo...???
I've just read an article on the BBC about a group of people who went to celebrate New Year's Eve in the highest pub in Britain. They got snowed in for three days, but the British are irrepressible:

Popular indeed! ;-)
